1967 Playmate Of The Year Barracuda FISH?

I have done book and magazine layout and many thought processes on what message is suggested by the layout are common.
Just my thoughts, but I think that when they got the picture, they realized she was getting in the driver's seat. Thinking like the minds of playboy, they swapped it to look like she is getting in the "passenger" side which subliminally invites YOU to be the driver. This was easier than getting everything back for a re-shoot.
